Fake News & Fake Stats..
I just wanted to pen off some thoughts about the topic of fake news. The foundation of this new executive administration seems to be alternative facts and of course that has its foundation in fake news. You can say something that is widely known to be a lie and pose it as truth and have people believe it. I fear for our society if so many of us believe such blatant lies. There is a reason that the George Orwell book 1984 is now one of the most ordered books coming from Amazon is because there are so many parallels to … Continue reading Fake News & Fake Stats..
Tiny Houses…
One of my favorite type shows on TV lately is about tiny houses. That is home less than 400 square feet. It seems that tiny houses are becoming a strong national trend and I can certainly understand why on several … Continue reading Tiny Houses…
Here’s To You California..
I will be the first to admit that I have only been in California on a handful of occasions and only once in the 21st century. But here is my gallery celebrating your State. I visited San Francisco and those pictures will be coming soon. But for this gallery I want to concentrate on the central farm lands and such. Here is a gallery of that: As usual click on any picture to see a larger slideshow view: Continue reading Here’s To You California..
Not My POTUS…
Can you believe that we have actually survived the last ten days? It just seems infinitely longer than that to me… Only 1451 more days before we can make a very necessary, no I will say absolutely critical, change. I pray to God that it won’t be too late. I have vowed here at RJsCorner to use the “T” word as little as possible so have been thinking of another way to identify him. I know that POTUS is a strong acronym for President Of The United States but somehow that just doesn’t ring true with me this time around. … Continue reading Not My POTUS…
Downtown Revitalizations..
Let’s face it most of our major city downtown areas fall into disrepair due to ever tightening budgets. Many try to revitalize their city centers and some are successful. One of those cities is Louisville KY. It has been a while since I was there but their “Fourth Street – Live” was quite a hopping place even in the middle of the week. They deserve my 5star rating for their efforts. It is a neat place to spend an evening. Continue reading Downtown Revitalizations..
The best God joke ever … Revisited
This is a revisit of a post I wrote here in 2012. It still applies today. Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Dont do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative … Continue reading The best God joke ever … Revisited
About Being American
I just love this Facebook entry on my friend’s page. It says it all on what being an American should be about. You can do your thing but don’t try to prevent me from doing mine. Diversity…… Continue reading About Being American
Cult Indoctrination…
This post might ruffle some feathers so if you are not in the mood I suggest you don’t read any further. When you think of the phrase “cult indoctrination” I image some pretty dark things come across your mind. Cult … Continue reading Cult Indoctrination…
Oh, The Food…
I just realized that I have not given a truly autobiographical post in quite some time so here goes. This one is about my college years and particularly how I earned a major portion of the money needed to pay for my education. When I was in college now fifty years ago one of the things that almost everyone, or at least those in the dormitories, complained about is how bad the food in the cafeteria is. Its kind of like hospital food I guess. You are not supposed to like it. But, as usual, I take a different stand. … Continue reading Oh, The Food…
VACANCY — Looking For a Leader of the Free World..
For the last 70 years or so the job of “Leader of the Free World” was automatically bestowed on the person occupying the Oval Office. That just doesn’t seem to be possible this time around. The person in that room … Continue reading VACANCY — Looking For a Leader of the Free World..
Whatever You Want To Call It..
Chill Out Be Cool Go With The Flow Stay Calm and Take Your Meds Whatever you want to call it, it is now time to take things in stride. That is don’t get too worked up about the coming age. That will be my motto going forward from here. It does no good to get worked up about thing that you have little control over. But that doesn’t preclude you hitting the phones to call your congressmen or hitting the streets in protect to the coming draconian cuts to social programs! Dr. Eric Berne who was a Canadian psychoanalyst came up … Continue reading Whatever You Want To Call It..
Pennsylvania State Museum
In 2014 we went to the State Museum of Pennsylvania on our way back from NYC. It was one of the best of all the state museums we have been in. It celebrates all aspects of its history. Here is a small gallery of the art from that visit. As usual click on any picture to see a larger slideshow view Continue reading Pennsylvania State Museum
It’s The Democrats Fault You Lost your Health Insurance
The political spin machine is running at breakneck speed now. It doesn’t matter whether what it contains is true or not, it seems so many people believe anything that you tell them. Yeah, it’s the Democrats fault that so many millions will lose their health insurance upon the repeal of ACA…. because they shouldn’t have given it to you in the first place. Simply speaking we need to get over the insane partisan politics of this millennium. If we don’t we will keep falling deeper into the rabbit hole as a country. When we forget that we are all in this … Continue reading It’s The Democrats Fault You Lost your Health Insurance
Winter…
I think I have let it be known here that I am not a fan of winter especially the snow and ice part of it. I am bringing up this photo not to tell you what it is like today but what it was like about this time in 2012. It just makes this winter season so much more bearable to remember what past ones were like. I have yet to get my snow blade out of the barn this season and hope I don’t have to.
